Chapter 489
No Manager Xiao at Xiao Corporation... No Manager Xiao? It wasn’t just the Business Department that was missing a Manager Xiao?What did that mean? Why wasn’t he there?
She remembered Xiao Linye telling her he was the manager of the Xiao Corporation’s Business Department, but now...
"Hello? Hello?" When Lai Shuo, on the other end of the line, didn’t get a response, he called out twice more.
However, at this moment, Ye Yuning seemed unable to hear anything; the phone slipped from her hand!
Getting no response, the person on the other end hung up, and a BEEP-BEEP-BEEP sound followed.
Ye Yuning’s eyebrows knotted tightly...!
No Manager Xiao? What did that mean? Amidst her confusion, a sharp pain lanced her lower abdomen again. "UGH!"
The intense pain left her unable to think about anything else.
Ultimately, Ye Yuning couldn’t find Xiao Linye. With no one else in the office, she dialed 120 directly.
When Luo Xin returned, she saw paramedics carrying Ye Yuning out of their office on a stretcher.
Luo Xin was shocked. "Boss~!"
Ye Yuning weakly forced her eyelids open.
Luo Xin approached. "Boss, what happened to you?"
"I’m going to the hospital. It’s nothing serious."
"Then, then let me go with you!" Chen Wei wasn’t there, Luo Xin said worriedly.
Without even pausing to put her things down, Luo Xin hurriedly followed the medical staff as they wheeled Ye Yuning into the elevator.
Ye Yuning was sweating profusely from the pain, her consciousness blurring.
At the hospital, she was rushed straight into the emergency room.
Her condition only stabilized after more than two hours.
The doctor heaved a sigh of relief. "It’s fortunate you came in time; otherwise, the child in your womb wouldn’t have made it."
In her daze, Ye Yuning heard this and snapped to full alertness!
Her pupils contracted as she looked at the doctor. "What, what are you saying? Child, you, me..."
"Yes, you’re pregnant. This time, you almost had a miscarriage!"
Ye Yuning: "..."
Her mind BUZZED again. She couldn’t believe what the doctor was saying, nor her own ears.
Her palm subconsciously covered her lower abdomen, her mind growing even number.
She was pregnant. She was actually pregnant...
Right now, under her palm, she was carrying a child. She and Xiao Linye... had a child?
Child...
Throughout their marriage, the idea of children had been completely foreign to her. She’d never even considered becoming a mother, let alone having a child with Xiao Linye.
The sudden arrival of this child had caught her completely off guard.
Amidst her panic, however, she couldn’t suppress a surge of joy.
In her entire life, she had never truly experienced what familial bonds felt like. Now... could this be a gift from heaven?
Ye Yuning took a deep breath, touched her abdomen, and whispered softly, "Child~!"
Was she going to be a mother?
Mother! The word was so foreign to her; she’d never imagined she would be blessed with such fortune.
Yet this realization had struck her so suddenly.
Ye Yuning was wheeled into a ward.
Soon after, the doctor came to inquire about her condition. Although she hadn’t bled much this time, it was still a timely discovery.
Having nearly miscarried, the doctor naturally wanted to understand the cause clearly.
And when asked if she had taken any medication in the past few days...
Ye Yuning replied, "Yes, I did."
"What kind of medication?"
"To regulate my endocrine system," Ye Yuning said, somewhat embarrassed as she explained why she was taking the medication.
She and Xiao Linye... truly!
Such a monumental thing as pregnancy, and they had been completely oblivious, thinking it was just an endocrine disorder!
The doctor said, "These types of medication often contain blood-activating ingredients. You shouldn’t take them casually."
"Will this... will it affect the child? I mean, if I stop taking it now, will there still be any lingering effects?"
"How long did you take it for?"
"Three days!" Ye Yuning said nervously.
She had thought it was her endocrine system—how utterly embarrassing! But the real issue was, the hospital hadn’t detected the pregnancy during her checkup either.
Hadn’t they performed an ultrasound? Why hadn’t it shown a child in her belly?
She might have been muddled, but surely the doctor shouldn’t have been? And wasn’t it a specialist Xiao Linye had found for her?
So even specialists were this unreliable?
When the doctor heard she had taken Chinese medicine for three days, he said gravely, "You’ll need to be monitored closely from now on."
"Oh, okay!"
Monitored closely... Of course, she needed to be monitored closely. Ye Yuning’s head throbbed.
She felt this whole situation was utterly ridiculous—and so was Xiao Linye!
Two grown adults, and they had completely overlooked something as significant as a missed period, assuming it was a hormonal imbalance instead of pregnancy!
And people always said pregnancy caused vomiting, but she hadn’t vomited at all, had she?
Perhaps it was because she hadn’t vomited? That was probably why she hadn’t even considered the possibility.
The doctor left.
Luo Xin looked at Ye Yuning with concern. "The doctor said you must rest in bed for the next few days."
"Get me a bed in the office," Ye Yuning directed.
Luo Xin nodded. "Okay!"
Learning her boss was pregnant, Luo Xin grew worried. What if she started neglecting the studio? That simply wouldn’t do.
Although things at the studio had mostly settled down, maintaining their image with headquarters was crucial right now.
If Ye Yuning started frequently missing work at a time like this, it would give outsiders the mistaken impression that the studio was genuinely in trouble.
The doctor had advised Ye Yuning to stay in the hospital for observation, but she simply didn’t have time for that right now.
So, after the doctor prescribed medication and Ye Yuning repeatedly assured him she would be extremely cautious, he finally allowed her to leave.
It was already half-past four by the time they left the hospital.
"Boss, are you really okay?" Luo Xin asked with concern.
Ye Yuning shook her head. "The pain’s gone."
On the way back to the studio, she tried calling Xiao Linye a few more times.
She had no idea what was going on with Xiao Linye today; his phone had been switched off the entire time.
Her mind replayed the two calls she’d made to the Xiao Corporation’s Business Department right before being rushed to the hospital.
The first call, she’d assumed she must have dialed the wrong number!
But the second time, Lai Shuo’s voice... she definitely hadn’t misheard Lai Shuo’s voice!
